PDP Governors Forum condemn Gulak declaring himself national chairman of the party

Yesterday, former President Jonathan aide, Ahmed
Gulak, stormed the PDP Secretariat in Abuja where
he declared himself the new national chairman of
the party after a meeting with staff. The PDP
Governor's Forum has condemned the action,
saying it was uncalled for.
"The invasion of the party headquarters on
Wednesday by Ahmed Gulak, who reportedly
assumed the Chairmanship of the PDP, is
regrettable and condemnable.
We take cognisance of the judgment by the
court in Abuja which ordered the acting
chairman to vacate office for any other
person from the North-East zone of Nigeria.
Our party constitution has enough provisions
for that and the necessary process has been
put in motion," the PDP Governor's Forum
said in a Communique issued yesterday
Gulak, a former Special Adviser to Jonathan on
Political Matters, had declared himself the new
chairman following a court ruling that asked
Secondus to vacate the seat for someone from the
north. The Governors Forum said they would meet
soon to elect a national chairman of the party from
the appropriate zone.
